Yes. And that gets into the awkward bit. LLMs are incidentally good as databases/search engines for information that is prevalent on the internet and not disputed. Ideally we could separate the LLM from the information. So when asking it for a definition you'd provide your query, the source comment, and then the computer would add in the definition and some uses in context. Right now we've tangled an understanding of language and a corpus of information together in a way that causes distrust in AI. If the AI gets some fact wrong (like Bard did when demo'd earlier this year) people laugh and think LLMs are a failure. They should not be used for information recall. That is a task that a vector database would be good at.
